Turkish Police Fire Tear Gas Outside Opposition Headquarters

The incident highlights the ongoing political divisions and the government's crackdown on dissent in Turkey. The use of tear gas by the police against the protesters has drawn criticism from human rights groups, who have accused the government of heavy-handed tactics in dealing with political opposition.
